Australian shipbuilding company Austal confirmed that its chief financial officer had resigned from the company, having worked at Austal for 15 years.
In a statement to the ASX, Austal announced that Greg Jason has resigned from Austal to take an extended break, with the resignation effective from December 2021.
Jason had spent 15 years with Austal, and served as chief financial officer for nine years. Prior to this, he worked across finance and operations roles within the company.
Jason confirmed that he will help find and transition to a new CFO.
He outlined that helping manage Austal’s growth across Asia had been a career highlight.
“Helping establish shipbuilding operations in Asia and overseeing Austal’s dynamic operations across several continents over a prolonged period of time has been a fulfilling journey,” Jason said.
“The time is now right to take a break and spend some time with my family before assessing and pursuing new opportunities.”
Paddy Gregg, chief executive of Austal, confirmed that Jason had resigned leaving Austal in a robust financial position.
“Greg has played a key role in the financial stewardship of Austal, enabling the company to grow its industry-leading capabilities across the globe, including Australia, the United Sates of America and the broader Asian region,” Gregg explained.
“On a personal level, I enjoyed working with Greg for the past four and a half years, and on behalf of the Austal board and executive team we sincerely wish him the best in his future endeavours.”
